Competition:

• Predetermined Classes Based on Horsepower: Drag races will be conducted within predetermined classes based on the horsepower output of the vehicles. Organizers will establish horsepower ranges for each class before the event.
• Drivers will be informed of their assigned class based on their vehicle’s horsepower. This ensures fair competition among drivers with vehicles of comparable power.

Race Procedures:

• Pre-Stage and Starting Lights: The Christmas tree lighting system at the starting line signals the racer through various stages. A bulb illuminates for pre-stage (car needs to be staged correctly), followed by two bulbs for stage (car staged and ready), and finally the single green bulb to initiate the race. A red light signifies a disqualification (usually for jumping the start).
• The Race: Once the green light illuminates, racers accelerate down the track aiming to complete the course in the quickest time possible.
• Winner Determination: The top 3 winners in each class will be determined by the lowest tiem  taken to reach a quater mile. 

Penalties and Disqualifications:

• Penalties or disqualifications can be issued for various infractions, including jumping the start (red light), exceeding course boundaries, missing the staging beams, or unsportsmanlike conduct. The specific penalty will depend on the severity of the infraction and the race organization’s rules.
